Anyone have any tips for battling sciatic nerve pain? I've been doing the exercises my doctor recommended daily, but I still have issues when I do too much bending/reaching (like cleaning the house) or when I sit for too long (the chairs at work seem to really bother it!). Heating pad doesn't seem to work, either.

I don't have sciatic pain but my doctor made me a chiropractor appointment for my back. I hope it helps I go tomorrow

Im not sure if what i have it sciatic pain or not but its from the top of my spine to bottom and it seizes up and i cant sit or stand for long and makes it hard to breathe! Nothing seems to be working i will be asking ante natal if there is anything that can help, my job is a desk job so you can see why it is a problem

 

[Hollynesss]

Ehj, that sounds like EXACTLY what I'm experiencing. Its only in my right butt cheek, but its a very sharp pain, and it makes it hard to even walk. My doctor said it is definitely sciatic nerve pain. There are some exercises that help a little bit, but it seems the bigger my bump gets, the more irritated it gets.

I was thinking of trying a prenatal chiropractor.

Just wanted to say on here (since not everyone is on FB) - The shettles method worked for us! We're having our baby girl!!!!
So we'll have 2 boys and a girl

Scan went well, I had to walk around for a while because the baby was face down, so she couldn't get a good look at the heart. Had some chocolate and a cold fizzy drink, did lots of walking and some jumping, poked her a few times and when we came back she was laying on her side, so we could see!

The sonographer was ready to let us go home and we were like: Can we find out whether it's a boy or girl??? We'd been counting down the days until we could find out Hubby was SO happy when the sonographer said it's a girl!!! It was sweet!!

Gonna have lots of shopping to do now, cause we have no girl clothes yet, apart from a little outfit I bought last week, cause I couldn't help myself. Hid it from hubby, in case it had to go back if we were having a boy and then gave it to him after the scan

Eltjuh - Congrats on your girl, how exciting xx

Hollyness - I get a similar pain in my right butt check too! Swimming helps and some stretching exercises like some of the yoga positions. I find not sitting still for too long also helps a bit. its really painful though.

 

[frangi33]

Eltjuh congrats!

We found out yesterday we're having a boy and couldn't be more delighted x

 

[MelliPaige]

The chiropractor didn't do anything today, expect for an exam. I go back tomorrow for treatment!! I have some energy today and got my house cleaned up which is a relief. I try so hard but only have enough energy for a room a day and it adds up and I hate asking DH for help because he works so hard. He does help without complaining just my own guilt

 

[Hollynesss]

Congrats on the little prince, frangi!

Mellie, I'm curious to see how much the chirp helps!!

Miss Bellum- I thought about trying out swimming to see if that helps. It's nearly spring so just getting to be warm enough to enjoy our community pool!

 

[Eltjuh]

Eltjuh congrats!

We found out yesterday we're having a boy and couldn't be more delighted x

Congrats to you too!!

Is anyone experiencing numbness in their right hand? It's becoming a lot more frequent such as taking notes, my hand gets a tingling sensation so I have to shake it to get blood flowing back into my hand. Then, it's especially worse at night when I have to keep my elbow elevated and my arm pointing downwards to allow blood flow.

I'm getting concerned.... although, the 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' app says common pregnancy symptoms at this stage is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with swollen fingers and tingling sensations mainly from typing at a desk daily. However, the problem really only happens when I'm trying to sleep and small times during the day.

Help!

 

[Miss Bellum]

frangi33 - congrats on your boy x

mellipage - hope the treatment helps. Its so hard trying to stay on top of house work I get really depressed at the state of our house too but I just can’t often face doing it. I try to do a bit at time too.


Holiness - I do find swimming helps. It also helps to make me feel more relaxed too.

DandJ - Sorry to hear about your numbness. Hope it goes soon.

 

[MelliPaige]

Um the chiropractor was amazing.
I still have some pain but it's very managable..a dull ache where before it was sharp and radiating. I highly recommend!

Blehhhh lost part of my plug last night- too early for this. Called OB nurse this am, they said I'm fine since no cramping or bleeding... For me there's always cramping in pregnancy, but I haven't had any out of the ordinary- soooo I figure that's the same as none!
